Open source it, you pussies

Microsoft is not just no longer supporting publisher, the application will be just plain gone. It's extraordinary to me that a huge number of files representing many hours of human labour will suddenly become unopenable.

I'm not saying Microsoft Publisher is necessarily good, but at work I run into a layout problem that Word won't handle, and there's nothing else available to me there.

Crazy.

I feel like I have mourned the death of MSPub at least once before.

The incentive to continue getting MS Office continues to shrink. First Outlook Classic being slowly replaced, now Publisher.

Thank goodness I have the perpetual version of 2024. I honestly don’t use it all that much, but it still comes through in a clutch.
